Foam Window stripping between lid and box,the clamps will hold it in place. People use it in place of the belt housing gasket as well.

Over on highlifter, some use silicone, and IMO that is a mess when you remove, and most of the guys on there use Marine Grease to get a good seal

I had a little muddy water in our honda airbox (it didnt get past filter) i just cleaned it up and used marine grease on the seal on the lid. I had nothing in my polaris air box but still seales it up with a thin layer of marine grease.
